Tamara de Lempicka: Queen of Art Deco - featuring Curator Furio Rinaldi
SEE EVENT DETAILS
With works that exude cool elegance and transgressive sensuality, Tamara de Lempicka (1894-1980) helped define Art Deco. Her paintings captured the glamor and vitality of postwar Paris and the cosmopolitan sheen of Hollywood celebrity. Although she moved among the most influential circles in 1920 Paris, 1940s Hollywood and beyond, her identity as a queer woman has not been widely discussed. On the occasion of the first major museum retrospective of Lempicka in the United States at San Francisco's DeYoung Museum, Curator Furio Rinaldi offers an in-depth multi-media presentation about the artist's distinctive style and gender-defying life journey, as well as her iconic cultural influence among drag queens, pop stars, and celebrity collectors.
Furio Rinaldi is curator in charge of the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
$10.
